I’m a news journalist living in Dublin, Ireland. I work online for Ireland’s national broadcaster RTE and am very interested in the direction news journalism is heading in.

I love working as a news journalist online and really enjoy being able to update stories quickly particularly when news breaks.

Outside of Ireland, I have reported in the US both in Washington DC and Chicago, and also in Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya.

I completed a masters degree at The Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University.

Some of the places I have been published: the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, the Irish Echo, The Irish Times, the Irish Independent, the Irish Daily Star, News 21 project, Chi-Town Daily News and Magill Magazine.

Originally I saw my future in print journalism, but since I’m not living in the 1970s I decided to embrace digital fully and make it my goal to become a multimedia reporter. Now I take photographs, shoot video, record audio, create basic graphics and write stories. This is a list I am eager to add to. (Take a look at my most recent multimedia project ‘The Humble Bee‘).

When I am not working or thinking about journalism I am usually preoccupied with music, often as part of my band Clockwork Noise. I play the violin and am learning the cello.
